Spangled Drongos are Magnificent looking Australiasian birds that can be found in Aussie backyards on the East Coast of Australia, from Tasmania all the way up to the Northern Territory. This beauty has been painted in varying hues of Indigo and deep purple and looks sublime with it’s background of Kangaroo paw flowers in deep earthy red tones. The white detail of this piece is very intricate, with delicate fine brushwork highlighting the plumage and tail feathers.
I’m a colour junkie and I love working in limited and interesting colour combinations. For this gouache painting I have mixed the paint into a more opaque consistency, to give a flat screen print feel to the piece. Composition, Colour, shape and line are the heroes, and the white line work gives my work it’s unique Australian flavour.
